Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole rolled oats
- 3 cups filtered water cold
- 1 tablespoons pure maple syrup optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats, cold water, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract (if using), and salt to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on low speed for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Pour the mixture into a nut milk bag or flour sack towel set over a large bowl or measuring cup. Gently squeeze to extract as much oat milk as possible, leaving the oat pulp behind.
- Transfer the oat milk to a clean glass jar or bottle.
- Refrigerate for up to 5 to 7 days. Shake well before serving, as natural separation will occur.
Notes
- Cold water helps produce a smoother oat milk with a less starchy texture.
- Pure maple syrup and pure vanilla extract are optional and can be adjusted or omitted to suit your taste.
- Store the oat milk in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 to 7 days.
- Natural separation is normal. Shake well before each use.
